Built some poor man's roof ramps today out of 4x4x12 ft lumber and some L brackets to assist with solo loading the new RTT. This thing is a beast. I also reworked my rooftop setup to accommodate the larger tent. It's a Freespirit Recreation Evolution V2 (Long). I'll likely have some videos up...

So, I know that this isn't reinventing any sort of wheel, and I'm sure there are probably a couple posts on here about it, but I'd just like to share my personal success story. i rece tly got a new RTT, and it's a beast. At 88 inches in length and ~190 pounds, it's quite a bit to handle coming...

I've bought so much Frontrunner stuff...I've never gotten anything free! Haha, good deal though. I've been meaning to turn that into a little gear attic for some time and just have never gotten around to it.

Looks good! Similar to what I did with mine. Found perfectly sized adhesive rock lights (set of 8) that I put on the ceiling. Works perfectly. What are you using that that ceiling storage? Is that netting? A bag? Couldn't tell.

Sorry about that, haha. To be honest, with bigger A/T tires, roof racks, and a camper shell, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference in sound even if there was one. I can't imagine it would add much noise though. An issue that I have noticed though: Apparently the Sirius and GPS antennae are...

It did. I'm out of town so don't have it in front if me to measure, but if I recall it settled to around 3.25" on all corners. That's much more in line with the 3" or so that I expected. Again, your mileage may vary, as I have some extras (air-spring bump stops and HD rear springs) that I'm...

Appreciate it! It took me quite a while to edit/post the video, so I've had the kit on for about a month now. I'm out of town for work, so it has been 100% on road, but so far I'm very pleased with the performance. On-road manners are *much* improved, and body roll has been essentially...

I bought this lift over black friday, installed it over the holidays, and finally got around to putting a video walk-through together. Feel free to check it out, and like/subscribe if you're into that sort of thing. Feel free to ask any questions. I'll have an impressions/review video up in the...

The lift install video is finally up! Feel free to check it out, and do the whole like/subscribe thing if you're into that!

Appreciate the kind words!

I remember crunching the numbers at one point and I think I was leaning towards 2/0 minimum. Preferably 3/0. Roughly 40ft of cable run (pos+neg), pulling up to 350 max amps, requires some serious gauge. I'd rather do it once, correctly and safely, than skimp on the size and end up melting...

I had no issue with my factory tow hitch fitting. Unsure why some people may have. As for the sliders, they can definitely be made to work. I remember thinking how easy it would be to make them work, but I didn't own a grinder at the time so I tossed them on the shelf. From what I recall, none...

Still no winch on mine yet, but it is in the works. Mainly, just waiting for a good sale on the one I want, because the cable alone to safely run ~300+amps that far is at least $200. My plan is to run a power distribution block to the rear on large gauge wiring, and have a disconnect under the...

For sure. I'll post up any findings. Another idea I'd entertained is just running the stock antenna to my roof rack. I'm sure it's waterproof, since it's on top of the roll bar. I'd just be sure that the connections are well-sealed. If I could find a decent little bracket, that would probably...

Funny that you mentioned this when you did. In terms of Sirius reception, it's fantastic. Far fewer drop outs than I used to have. However I realized about a week ago that I no longer have onboard GPS. I thought that the sirius and GPS antennae were separate, but now I'm not sure. I don't ever...

Honestly, it had always been too big (long) for my garage. I've successfully parked it in there exactly once, and it made the garage essentially unusable. Had to open the garage door, walk outside, come in from the other side, and shimmy against the wall to do laundry. Personally, I've never had...

It was more than I wanted as well. I was hoping all of the weight I have would keep it down to 3" max, but I definitely don't hate it as it sits now. I figure I'll give it a few weeks and measure again to see where I'm at. I'll report any changes. That sounds interesting! I would have had my...

When I picked it up: Most recent picture: My poor wallet aside: loving every minute!

Ares got an upgrade! Before: After: The Clayton 2.5" kit, initially, has yielded 4" of lift (from approx 39" ground to fender, to 43" on all 4 corners) I do expect (and hope) that it will continue to settle some, as it's just a bit more lift than expected, but so far it has been fantastic...

Haha nice. Great minds, and all that. I've had my eye on this grill for a long time. It's exactly what I want/need in my camp setup. Not a bad idea on that hose. I may have to check that out myself.
